MILWAUKEE (AP) — Prince Fielder homered twice, and Yovani Gallardo homered and was good enough in six innings of work to earn the victory as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Houston Astros 7-5 Tuesday night.
It was the seventh victory in nine games for Milwaukee, which hit four homers off Astros starter Brett Myers (5-6).
Gallardo (8-3), coming off a five-hit shutout win over Minnesota, labored in six innings, giving up four runs, seven hits and two walks. He struck out five, including the last three batters he faced.
John Axford pitched a shaky ninth for his eighth save in eight chances, as Michael Bourn singled with one out, and Lance Berkman drove him in with a two-out double, but Hunter Pence grounded out to end it.
